Overview

The study aims to correlating q angel and BMI to dynamic balance in the diplegic children

Our study will be performed to detect if there is an effect of quadriceps angle on the dynamic balance of the ambulatory diplegic children, and also detect if there is and effect of body mass index on the dynamic balance of these children
